Private Hercules McGraw Features Poems on the American Civil War
by BWW News Desk - July 08, 2013
Anaphora Literary Press is pleased to promote S. Thomas Summers's poetry collection, Private Hercules McGraw: Poems of the American Civil War, which follows young character Hercules McGraw and his experiences on the battlefield during the American Civil War. Poem by poem, narrator Private McGraw shares his journey through the landscapes of the American Civil War. McGraw, a Confederate soldier and racist, steps into the War in order to assure that slavery will exist long enough for him to purchase a slave with hopes to impress his love, Martha. As McGraw treks through the blood and mire, experiencing both triumph and tragedy, he begins to transform into a man of peace and compassion - a man who no longer sees a black man or a white man; he simply sees a man - a fellow, a brother. 'S. Thomas Summers's Private Hercules McGraw: Poems of the American Civil War is a beautiful exposé on the human condition in wonderful, flowing prose that is as naked as man and as stark as war. Most importantly, the poetry within demonstrates how that human condition evolves when a person is forcibly faced with the realities of his changing beliefs and values. Everyone interested in America's Civil War - student as well as scholar - will relish this poetic story of one man's war; and likely every reader will recognize himself/herself within its lines.' -J. David Petruzzi, author, historical advisor to the television miniseries Appomattox S.

Emerging Poet's Latest Collection is Silence--Imbibed
by BWW News Desk - July 08, 2013
Around the edges of human interpersonal encounters are the things left too unsaid: the yearning, the regret, the lust, and most devastatingly, the guilt. Silence is our central tie. We feel it in our bodies. Communicate it with our eyes. The inter- becomes intra- when it is imbibed. Absorbed. The central theme of this collection of poems is that silence is imbibed when so much could be said, but the brevity of form demands less. 'Jenn Gutiérrez's new collection of poems is one of the most important books of poetry from a new generation of poets. Read the poems closely in Silence Imbibed and you will hear a new sense of silence that becomes music imbued with the blood, grit and love of this poet's struggles. Every one of the poems in this book, indeed, every word in this book makes new meaning from her elaborate stories and incredible use of white space....This collection of incredible metaphors may change the way you understand anything-it's as if her poems give voice and microphone to so much of what is said and lost, to so much of what is unsayable simply singing in and between her lines....Her poems will please you, challenge you, and ultimately take you through the pain and joy of a life that we must know better to be better ourselves.' -Will Hochman Jenn Gutiérrez holds a M.F.A. in English and Writing from Southampton College. Previous work has appeared in journals such as The Texas Review, The Writer's Journal, The Acentos Review, Antique Children, Underground Voices, Bacopa Literary Review, Verdad Magazine, and Flycatcher Journal. Her debut collection of poems, titled Weightless, was published in 2005. ($15, ISBN: 978-1-937536-10-7, LCCN: 2011942885, PS3607.U817 S55-2011, 100pp, 6X9?)
